I was simply pointing to an extreme version of stats not matching performance. 

Minshew is looking like a very good back up QB that with a solid team would win enough games to keep your playoff hopes alive. What I was looking for this year was progression flashing some elite play. The QBs I listed above are already flashing some elite play... 

I can’t put my finger on it.. but something is off with Minshew. A fear of getting sacked...fear of throwing an interception... but fear is certainly affecting his play.

He completed 68% of his passes for over 350 yrds with a line that pass protected poorly this game. You don't get that production by being scared. Considering the defense couldn't stop the Bengals from scoring, being cautious and not turning the ball over by taking sacks or forcing throws is not scared it's called not blowing any possible chance to get back into the game.

Yeah I checked the stats and they tell a different story than what we actually watched. He held the ball way too often... and when he didn’t his receivers were having to adjust to catch what he was throwing. 

I think Minshew’s assessment of today is pretty accurate.
